Good fit when
Your organization needs ownership, intake paths, and operating routines for open source decisions without overbuilding a full OSPO.
OSPO-lite Setup & Support
Set up the open source operating model your organization actually needs, whether or not a full OSPO makes sense. We define roles, intake paths, governance routines, metrics, and a practical first-year roadmap.
Context
Why this matters
Not every organization needs a full Open Source Program Office. Many need a lighter operating model that defines ownership, policy, review paths, and support for open source decisions without creating a new bureaucracy.
When to bring us in
- Coordinating open source work across engineering, legal, security, procurement, and program teams
- Defining who owns compliance, SBOMs, contribution, and external engagement
- Creating a practical intake path for open source questions
- Establishing lightweight governance routines and reporting
- Preparing for a future OSPO without overbuilding too early
What We Deliver
- OSPO-lite operating model
- Roles, responsibilities, and decision rights
- Intake, review, and escalation workflows
- First-year roadmap and success measures
- Training and stakeholder workshop
Outcome
What changes after this work
An OSPO-lite approach gives organizations structure without unnecessary overhead. It helps teams make open source decisions consistently and creates a foundation that can grow as needs become clearer.
